This is true, but I can imagine that there might have been a chance that the packaging material was in sooner, and they’d have a chance to get some or even all out before the holiday. Then it seems good to charge already even when it was likely that there would be a delay, certainly better than making the delay certain by charging later…
I also received that. Maybe the packaging was delivered (was expected today) and they prepared the shipment for pickup already, to be picked up at the 6th I presume?
Mine arrived today. Love it. Despite it being DIY, it came fully assembled besides nvme, ram and adapt0rs. Everything seems to work as it should, but this was by far the jankiest Windows 10 install in a loooong time
My laptop finally arrived today!! I thought I would at least have to wait until tomorrow but here it is already! I really want to play with it, but I’m working from home today so I’ll have to wait…
@BoredStudent Thanks my shipment date (to the UK) was the same so maybe mine will show up over the weekend!
@mitspieler Yes the original DIY edition also had the wireless card to be fitted which is a fiddly job and probably had a high error rate so Framework seem to have decided to do that for us!
Hah! I see you are a man of culture: you picked the exact same set of expansion ports as I did.
…Now I just need to wait for delivery. And to make things even more fun, as of today my window where I might suddenly be able to buy a Steam Deck has opened. So I have quite a few reasons to F5 things.
So… The DHL tracking link says my laptop has just departed their facility in Amsterdam, half an hour from my house, but the expected delivery time is still Tuesday evening… I wonder where its going?
@FlyingFox.of.theYard Probably it’s a big shipment with a lot of parcels and they don’t work in the weekend. So I think they take Monday to process the parcels and deliver them on Tuesday.
DHL delivers Monday to Friday, so could be after all that you will get yours on Monday.
Except it says it was already processed this morning. And the delivery times they predict don’t match up with those in the FAQ link you’re referring to (they say business addresses during office hours, home addresses in the evenings).
And anyway, none of this explains where it’s going if it’s already left Amsterdam but is not out for delivery (AFAIK deliveries to my part of the country come from the Amsterdam depot). It’s all very perplexing.
EDIT: The FW shipments are being handled by DHL Express, which has different operating days/hours the the normal DHL service.
I never got an expected delivery date, but from the moment I saw this message in tracking the package was delivered in half a day.
That being said, “departed the sorting facility” does not equal an “out for delivery” update, that will be a different one. I was confused by this as well, but I guess the sorting facility is in another place than the delivery facility? Or it’s just processed that way.
I notice that both HubEZ and Linex don’t show any updates on my order once it was handed over to DHL in Singapore. DHL is handling it all the rest of the way (I’m in the Netherlands), and their tracking system has been working perfectly so far.
Have you not had any message from whichever carrier is making the delivery?
Anyway, I notice you said it shipped 5 days ago, and most deliveries seem to take 5-7 days, so hopefully you’ll get it immediately after the weekend
